55 postmodern world that has changed our perspective about things that seemed to be always arranged in some hierarchical categories. As the existential branch of psychology emphasizes, underneath trivial psychological neuroses another level, called by Frankl the noetic or the spiritual, is to be found. On this level we have to consider real and serious existential aspects concerning direction, meaning and the sense of life, freedom and independence, anxiety or angst, the unavoidable problem of death, and every other big question that came up during the multi-millennial life of humanity. And, what is most certain is the fact that those problems are affecting us all, despite a whole spectrum of the attitudes towards them which can reach from total indifference, unawareness, overt, and manifest ignorance to the most acute awareness and keen observation which cannot miss and be affected by any sign or existential question mark. But, if we have overcome our own ignorance or indifference and placed ourselves on such a noetic level, we realize that no one is better than the other, no one can be the giving specialist placed in front of a receiving layman, no one can be, as Callenbach specified, ‘a gift’ in order to solve or at least to encounter ‘a problem’ p osed by a person in difficulty. Rather, we should act and learn to regard our abilities more as gifts which we can, could and should, for that matter, share with each other on the collaborative and companionship level offered so generously by the field of psychotherapy. Strictly speaking, we all are gifts to one another, but the real gift does not come from our uniqueness, or our very special ego, or our strange and atypical idiosyncrasies, but rather from the differences that enrich, and develop, and diversify every life. Our unlikeliness and uniqueness make all the difference, which in return, contributes to the richness of life, permanently adding nuances, emphasizing variety, and complementing missing colours of the very large and complex canvas of social togetherness. We all are, at least from the existential noetic perspective, on the same level, humans acting in the society where one has to handle difficulties, conflicts, problems, or hard to solve issues. Once we realize that as the common ground for us all, we may see also that we are basically companions on ‘a road less travelled’ (as M. Scott -Peck would have said); a road that lies ahead of everyone, especially if it is about psychotherapy or supervision. On that road less travelled is also every client that comes in a therapy session, where there is not one (the client) that is, or has, a problem and another one (the therapist) that is or has the gift (knowledge of psychology, doctoral diplomas, or a long and rich experience of therapy). There is not one with a problem and another one with a solution or at least with the knowledge of how to get rid of a problem. Both parties involved in a therapeutic session, and a supervising one, too are companions on a road neither one knows beforehand. Although it seems to be just a little and consequently insignificant change of accent, the switch from the psychological to the existential point of view, is a tremendous paradigmatic jump from a modest, home-like, trivial, and limited level to one that extends and deepens rapidly into the confines of the limitless extensions of the human soul. In order to be able to consider the real depths and the vast and unexpected horizons of the human soul and spirit, one has to accept, in the first place, their reality and existence. In the end, we are more than just what behaviour can show or computing of information can infer. The fact that the two mainstream psychological and psychotherapeutic
